Waiting times and appointment availability varies form time to time and between the Practitioners.
All referrals are triaged based upon the information provided in the referral letter. The Paediatrician may request further information to assist this triage.
Urgent appointments may be available but are only allocated by the paediatrician after discussions with the referring doctor.

GPs are best placed to know the options available, which may include the GP themselves, psychiatrist, psychologist, allied health, CAMHS, BRANCHs or another paediatrician. Services may be within or out of the region depending on availability.
